5 Reasons It’s Ok When the Other Half is Away

By Yourfamilysurvivalcoach @shari_brewer

I’m sure he’s having a dreadful time!

The MOTH is away for a few days. He left yesterday afternoon on a Jetstar jetplane for the warm, tropical fishing paradise that is Far North Queensland.

It’s ok. Of course I’m jelly-jealous, but it is alright, trust me

You see, it’s entirely true that we miss him dreadfully already …… and you betcha I’ve spoken to him a couple of times since he escaped left for his adventure BUT I’ve actually thought of some reasons as to why his holiday has spin-offs for me too.

1. TV in bed, as early as I like once Baby Girl is sweet-dreaming, and the doona and TV remote remain all mine not to share!

2. Dinner can be as simple and fuss-free as I want. Eggs on toast again? Sure! Why not!

3. I can add his allocation of hot water onto my showers and enjoy the pelting warm water for just a bit longer.  I know, I’ll pretend I’m at the day spa! Genius!

4. Monday night football is not required viewing this week ……. and am I sad??? Ummm, nope,  not really!

5. I know that I’ll feel absolutely no guilt at all when I head on a 3 night girls’ cruise early next month! Bring. It. On!

MOTH, if you’re reading this, I do hope that you relax, enjoy yourself and bag some big ones. Can’t wait to see you home safely

How do you go when you’re left to hold the fort? Do you treat yourself to anything special … like an early night with the iPad and doona to yourself?
